Changing food

Basenji Talk
  • LindseyL

    Hello! Looking to change Chupy's food from puppy food (we were doing blue buffalo dry puppy) to regular food now. Any suggestions in a brand? He is 10 mo now and I know I am way over due to upgrade to adult food.

    I never ever feed puppy food, so I'm glad you are changing. Since he's on blue buffalo, and it's a good brand, why not switch to that? I actually rotate foods.

    Same comments as Debra, I have never used puppy for any of my pups from the time they were old enough to eat solid food.... Don't particularly love Blue Buffalo, but any high quality kibble is fine. I use a number of different ones that way I can always change foods without any tummy upset.... I do like Fromm's Surf and Turf

    I am big fan of cooking for my dog. I used to make big pots of food and freeze the portions. Lately she has been eating what I eat, I set a portion aside in her bowl (which sits on the table while I eat my dinner and then is put on the floor for her). I have to say that I do think I'm eating healthier because of concerns for her "diet". We are both a bit overweight, but conscious of it and exercising (i.e, going on long walks) as much as possible.

    One of my pups, Crystal is the ultimate garbage gut… and will dive in any bush for that "thrown away" KFC chicken bone... sigh.. Poor Ann is forever grabbing for what is in her mouth... especially when around any place that is doing construction... one day it was an entire slice of pizza....

    Neither of mine will catch food, it hits them in the face and falls to the floor too. They're both pretty good at catching toys when I tell them to but do get bored with that game rather qiuckly.

    LOL! Stormie did that once when visiting my Dad (who is not a basenji fan to begin with - I'm pretty sure I must be adopted ;o) ). Dad was less than pleased with the little oily senji footprints through the garage, but he did find the humor in seeing Stormie in the bath tub looking like a disgraced, drowned rat! :o)

    My Hollie girl eats from the bowl sometimes and sometimes she takes a few minutes to another room. She constantly "hides" her dogfood, in corners, under a doormat, under my bed pillows, etc. I don't know if this is something that all basenjis do, or if it is because she had been a stray when I adopted her. Either way, she is certainly entertaining.
